Preface

Note: Each device must be tested before leaving factory. If there are some residues in extruder or some tiny scratches on the build tape, it is normal and won't affect the printing quality.

On the completion of this User Guide, thanks all FlashForge engineers and the FlashForge 3D printer users for their unremitting efforts and sincere assistance. The FlashForge Adventurer 3 User Guide is designed for the Adventurer 3 users to start their printing journey with FlashForge Adventurer 3. Even if you are familiar with earlier FlashForge machines or 3D printing technology, we still recommend that please read this guide, as there is lots of important information about the Adventurer 3 for you to get a better 3D experience. For a better and more successful printing experience, you can refer to the following materials: Quick Start Guide: Users will find the Quick Start Guide together with the printer accessories. The Quick Start Guide will help you start your print journey as soon as possible. Official FlashForge Website: The official FlashForge website contains the up-to-date information concerning FlashForge software, firmware, device maintenance and so on.

Terms

The surface on which the Adventurer 3 builds an object.

The black tape that covers Adventurer 3's build plate so that the object can stick to the build plate well.

Build Volume

Extruder Nozzle Cooling Fan Filament Cartridge Filament Guide Tube Filament Intake Solid Glue Stick

The three dimensional amount of space that an object will use once it is completed. The largest build volume is 150*150*150mm.

The integral extruder device installed on X-Axis. Extruder draws the filament from the spool, melts it and pushes it through a nozzle into the build plate.

Also called "print head", which located at the bottom of the extruder where heated filament is squeezed out.

To cool the outer assembly of the extruder and gear motor.

A specific box for placing FlashForge filament, which is located on the right of printer.
